All of that world is shattered when Vlad is arrested, and his identity as a war criminal is revealed.Fidelma, disgraced, flees to England and seeks work among the other migrants displaced by wars and persecution. But it is not until she confronts him--her nemesis--at the tribunal in the Hague, that her physical and emotional journey reaches its breathtaking climax.The Little Red Chairs is a story about love, and the endless search for it.
